FUS AreaControl
-----------------
WHAT IS FusAC?
==============
Fus Area Control is an Areafix clone. It lets points and nodes turn on and
off feeding of echomail areas without bothering the SysOp of the feeding
BBS.
A letter to FusAC can look like this:
FROM: Robert Wahlström
TO : FusAC
SUBJ: MyPassword -Q -L -H -? -F1 -F? -CLHA -C?
+ AMIGA.EUR
FUS_ALLM
- R20_AMIGASVHARD
%F 1
%F ?
%Q
---
(anything)
The AmigaDos wildcards #? and ? are supported as well as the Unix style *.
#? matches one or more characters
* matches one or more characters
? matches one character (no more no less)
Since the letters to FusAC is processed from top to bottom, the following
letter would be meaningless:
-AMIGA
#?
---
The area AMIGA would be turned off and then turned on again together with
all other available areas.
This makes more sence:
#?
-AMIGA
---
--- Always end Your letter with three minus. This tells FusAC not to look
for commands after that line. If You don't put them there, FusAC will
treat Your signature lines as a request to turn on feed of areas.
Letters to FusAC must be Netmail.
Here is an explanation of the commands that can be given on the subject
line:
=======================================================================
MyPassword The password for the node/point as set up in FusAC config
file.
-Q Query (Ask what areas are turned on for me)
-L List (Send me a list of available areas)
-H Help (Send me the help-text (this file))
-? -"- -"-
-F1 Send me file number one.
-F? Send a list of available files.
-F<FILENAME> Send file <FILENAME>
-C? Send a list af available compress methods.
-CLHA Change compress method to LHA.
NOTE! Files as mentioned above are not the general files of the BBS.
It is files that the SysOp thinks You should read because they are of
special interest for participants in echomail areas. This can be rules,
policys and others. Request a list of these files with the -F? or %F ?
commands.
Commands in the actual message text:
====================================
+AMIGA.EUR (Turn on area "AMIGA.EUR")
MEBBS (Turn on area "MEBBS")
-TRAPDOOR (Turn off area "TRAPDOOR")
%QUERY (Same as -Q in subject line)
%LIST (Same as -L in subject line)
%HELP (Same as -H or -? in subject line)
%FILE 1 (Same as -F1 in subject line, note the space)
%FILE ? (Same as -F? in subject line, note the space)
%FILE <FILENAME> (Same as -F<FILENAME> in subject line, note the space)
%COMPRESS ? (Same as -C? in subject line, note the space)
%COMPRESS LHA (Same as -CLHA in subject line, note the space)
%PAUSE (Equal to "%PAUSE *". Pauses all areas until resumed)
%PAUSE #? 10 (Pauses all areas for ten days)
%PAUSE * 93-09-29 (Pauses all areas until September 9th 1993.
Note! Date must be in the format YY-MM-DD)
%PAUSE *MEBBS* 30 (Pauses all areas matching the pattern *MEBBS*
for 30 days (maximum is 999 days))
%RESUME (Equal to "%RESUME *". Resumes all paused areas.)
%RESUME *MEBBS* (Resumes all areas matching the *MEBBS* pattern.)
---
(anything) (FusAC will ignore everything after three minus).
%QUERY, %HELP, %LIST, %FILE, %COMPRESS, %PAUSE and %RESUME can at all times
be abbreviated.
E.g. %Q %H %L %F %C %P and %R.
Paused areas does not have to be RESUMEd, they can be turned on in the usual
way mentioned above.(i.e. +TAGNAME or TAGNAME)
If the pause command is issued together with a date or a number of days
You must also issue an argument for areas, a tagname or a wildcard or a
combination of text and wildcards. This means that" %PAUSE 30" is NOT
valid but "%PAUSE * 30" IS valid.
A good idea is to end all letters to FusAC with %Q. Then You can see that
the changes that You have requested really has been done.
